Red Sanders: Seshachalam’s Rare Red Gold
Red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus), or "Red Gold," is a rare, highly valued species native to Andhra Pradesh's Seshachalam hills in the Eastern Ghats. Its unmatched quality stems from Seshachalam's unique soil, rich in balanced uranium, iron, graphite, and calcium. Although cultivated elsewhere, farmed trees take 30–40 years to mature and cannot match the natural quality of Seshachalam's wild trees, which reach commercial usability in just 20–25 years.
